Armed Woman Prevents Daughter's Rape

STLtoday.com reports on a nice clean DGU. Not even I could turn this one into an argument for gun control.

A Cape Girardeau mother with a gun is being credited with stopping the attempted rape of her daughter. The Southeast Missourian reported Wednesday that Craig Kizer, 51, faces a variety of charges, including attempted rape, armed criminal action and burglary. He has no known address. Police say Kizer had been working on the family's home as part of a renovation project but was not staying there. The teen was in bed around 5:30 a.m. Sunday when Kizer came into her room with a knife and climbed on top of her. When he set the knife down on the bed, the teen grabbed it and screamed. The girl's mother came into the room with a gun, pointed it at the suspect and ordered him out of the house. Police later arrested him.
